Because he has a controlling personality and isn't that into you, as the saying goes.

If he was not controlling, he would be supportive. If he was into you, he would have trust and be supportive. Better you learn these characteristics now, than later.

Dating is transitory. It does not begin and end with the first warm body who expresses and interest in us. Dating also means we go out with lots of people in order to sample and learn about different characteristics and characters so that when Mr./Ms. Right does come along we will know more about what we want and value in a potential mate, as well as recognize when that person crosses our path.

So, as far as I can tell from your account is that it would be better to move on. If you have been having on going problems with the relationship and have not found solutions by now, then this is a poor sign. Couple who are right for one another may have disagreements that can be negotiated and compromised, yet the foundation is solid and there is a mutual admiration between you. This does not sound like it is the case with the two of you.

Perhaps you can enlist others like family, friends, coworkers, who can lend you the support you desire. This is one of the reasons we cultivate close friendships.
